1995 Mercedes-Benz S280

Highlights

  • Low mileage of just 57,715 miles
  • Excellent service history
  • Recent extensive overhaul by Mercedes Benz specialist MTSV
  • Unique Pearl Blue Metallic exterior colour
  • Exceptionally well-preserved beige leather interior

The Appeal

Introduced in 1991, the W140 was Mercedes Benz' flagship for those all-important early years of the 90s. Often seen by more critical enthusiasts as the 'last true S-Class', these cars carried restrained styling, top-notch engineering and solid build quality in style, perfectly representing what a Mercedes should be. The public responded in kind - with over 430,000 cars rolling off of the production lines. 
This example's Pearl Blue Metallic exterior and pristine beige leather interior make it a standout among its peers. The car has been meticulously maintained, as evidenced by its comprehensive service history and recent extensive overhaul by Mercedes Benz specialist MTSV.
